Army Abs - My adaptation - Part 1 - Low Intensity

Army Abs

I have spent the last week researching a number of military style ab workouts, there is many to choose from. I have decided to choose exercises from each routine including my favourites, the ones I feel are most beneficial and also some that I feel are interesting and under used. As with any exercise routine healthy eating comes into play, especially when the ab region is the focus. Try and eat as well as you can, aim to consume the amount of food suggested in the eatwell plate in an article below, any information on general nutrition feel free to drop me an e-mail. (address at the end of this article).

I have decided to write three articles on this subject first starting with a low-intensity 2 week programme:
